Mass Making Toppers for Junk Journals

[@emmkaa2099]

Sounds like you had a wonderful time at the beach with the whole fam last weekend - how lovely it must be to be so near the coast! Honey, how's your mom doing with her new hip? I actually think about her often and continue to keep her in prayer - you and your whole family, actually. ❤ So I stopped the video and looked up The Cash Cows on YT - oh my gosh! Yes, very talented and I can imagine them being an absolute BLAST to see in person. Now THAT'S a handlebar moustache! Wow! ...and the harmonica on his neck??!!?? What fun! I'm loving the topper beginnings and can't wait to see where we go next. As it happens I missed yesterday's video so I'm getting to watch part two now - very cool!! Love you, sweetie, MK ❤️🤗🌵🤗❤️

Thanks Tina spending time with you is so much Fun! I find myself talking back to you and joining your conversations. Love all your mass makes. And loving my cluster book. Glad Easter was wonderful for you and Family.

[@colleenmc8450]

I have never made a topper myself. I always end up buying them. I am a few days behind, so I am looking forward to seeing them all completed. Your videos are so enjoyable.

[@rduckster4727]

So glad to hear you had a great time out! It’s a good thing to break away every now and then. Love when you make journey toppers too

[@Tattytreasure]

It was a great idea, your cluster book. When I do another I would do 2 rows of stitching Down the middle, when you rip them out thd one on the other side comes out so 2 rows would fix that. Someone on my group did a no Sew version using book rings ❤ Always love your Toppers 😍

[@tonyashatley5040]

Tina, you do not need to apologize for anything! If you post fantastic-I have a crafting partner! If you don’t post I just figure you are busy and with the family! Enjoy your family time!!!! Glad you had a great Easter, we did here. It is nice to be back on a schedule though 😉 Have a fantastic day!

[@kosmo7728]

It’s nice just to listen to her energy & cheeriness regardless of what she’s making 😊

[@bewoodford2807]

fabulous video. Can't wait fotr part 2! So looking forward to it. Thank you Tina xx

[@NannieStoke]

Thank you , these are fabulous ❤. I'm pleased you managed to have a few days " off " over Easter. I've literally just placed my 3rd order from your shop, I've been waiting for the trim packs to come back in stock and whilst I was there the skeleton folio found its way into my basket . Super excited 😁 . In my news I booked my wedding today , I'm 50 this year and decided to make an honest man out of my other half !! He was a tad shocked when I rang him on my lunch break and told him we are getting married in August 😂 ❤

[@melinda4815]

Congratulations!!!! What a fun lunch break that must have been. Prayers for all to go well.

[@susiescraftroomandstudio]

Oh my, now you have everyone pulling out fabrics, including me. 😂🤣😂🤣 We just follow the leader to get amazing results. I wanna be like you when I grow up. 😂🤣😂🤣Blessings and Hugs 🤗

[@danielhelt3002]

Janice Helt ...Me Too!!!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, thank you so much Susie, I am thrilled that you felt inspired to grab your fabrics and play along too xx

[@katherinehazard7580]

Tina, you sound so good!!! You never need to apologize for not posting a video! So glad you had time with your family! Much deserved!! Hugs to you my friend!!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Katherine, I really hope that you are doing great, lots of love xx

[@tinasmith8791]

These are great!! I am looking forward to seeing them embellished!!!

[@Ann-eh7ii]

I just got an order from you with the trim, lace, clusters. I am so excited to use them. I sent you another order so am obviously addicted to your ephemera. So worth the postage to the US. ❤❤❤

[@janinewoodhull3611]

Toppers are my weak point, so I'm glad you are showing us more ideas. Thanks! BTW, those small pieces of fabric you are wondering if you should keep will definitely come in handy later for clusters, page tabs, tag toppers, layering pieces, etc.

[@prof.mommyarty]

You've got some cool fabrics 😍 yes, especially the 'chair' fabric! Yes it's freezing again 🙈. That peach lace is beautiful 😍😍😍. I forget there's a community tab 🙈. You can't help being busy! Don't feel bad honey. We got covid just before Easter and still have it so we've done nothing🙈🙈🙈. But we had cold wet weather anyway lol. Yes the car shows are so cool, especially the period dressing up. Lol you galivanter🙊. OMG I LOVE the cello! I'll try and remember to check them out when I'm better. Live is always more exciting. I remember when an orchestra and a heavy rock band played each other's music as an experiment and it worked really well! The folio skeletons are a cool idea. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@binkiewillis8203]

I absolutely love love love the wide laces! They’re so versatile and grand 💕

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

They’re really lovely aren’t they Binkie? Xx

I'm loving these Tina. I've also made a cluster book and, will be making these beautiful toppers too. I think I am hording/saving all my journals and given some away as gifts. No plan to sell them, think I have about 20 lol.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Lol, that’s the thing isn’t it? They’re just so much fun to make, that before you know it, you have loads! 🤣. What a beautiful gift they will each be to receive. Xx

[@Maggiesplace48]

I think I need to buy more Lace tfs Tina ...Kia Kaha...

[@GloriaSkipper]

So happy we’re revisiting the toppers! My JJ covers are normally pretty plain and I haven’t had the courage to get creative with them. I know these will inspire me!🫶🏼

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

That is fantastic Gloria, have fun with your toppers xx

[@JennCadyFiddlyBits]

Thank you so much Holly xx

[@CraftroomStories]

Yay! I love making toppers!

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Me too, although I hadn’t made any for a while and had forgotten how fun they are xx

[@CraftroomStories]

I just made one with paper and lace. Yummy! I also have some leather samples. I am thinking they would do great!

[@JunkyCatJunction]

Very inspiring! I’m working on building up my fabric stash. Do you ship to the US???

[@Julie-ht3ph]

[@helenhartley6904]

what is a topper and what is the difference to a cluster?

[@DRC4547]

How do you use toppers?

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Check out today’s video, you will see the finished toppers and a couple of examples how to use them xx

[@glynismccartneyintricatesc5281]

🇨🇦🌦️❤️🌦️

[@DebbyLong777]

What’s a topper ?

[@jeanneblondewomanstamping9788]

A decorative piece that is sewn or glued to the front of a junk journal.

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Thank you so much Jeanne for answering. Yes, exactly as Jeanne said, if you watch tomorrow’s video, you will see how we finish these off and I will show them on a cover to give an idea of how they look xx

[@victoriafortunato1669]

Please Tina, don't throw away your little pieces of lace or fabric (it hurts me 😪)! You could put together a random bundle of these tyne goodies and sell them. There are for sure ladys like me who would like a big amount of different little scraps...

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Fantastic suggestion Victoria, thank you and I will see what I can put together for my shop xx
